For Those That Want To Talk About NEW SCHOOL FLATLAND !!!

Re: For Those That Want To Talk About NEW SCHOOL FLATLAND !!!

You guys have some great looking flatland rides! I just finished my Strowler and went with zero offset forks and love the way it rides. Sorry I cant get the pics to copy and paste for some reason. Im subscribing to this thread.

Re: For Those That Want To Talk About NEW SCHOOL FLATLAND !!!

here's my flatland set up. its also my street, park and go everywhere bike. 19.5tt, but i run nearly full offset fork and stem. bar with little or no sweep make's my wrists hurt something terrible, so i use Beringer bars. tight bends at the bottom and 10 degree's of back sweep. my wrists are happier nowadays! i use one bike for everything.

as far as frames for taller riders, S&M does offer the inTRIKat in 20" and 20.5" top tube length's.

Quamen had a sweet top load out but then it disappeared.

Anybody got info on American made and not limited run, Flatland parts. I already got the intrikat goodies. Want some other brands too.

Also. Pedals. I see KHe has those Mcs or whatever copies. Are they worth it? I've never had a problem with solid color twisted pcs. And they don't make my feet hurt. I like wide body, strong spindle, plastic pedals.

khe stimulators! i love them! i have bought them for years, until the price nearly doubled. luckily i have enough to last me til retirement. i did put a set of clear oddy twisted pc's on my ltd. ed. chrome intrikat. for the money, they cant be beat. half the price, and last just as long probably.

Hey Christian, i just realized...i think you just bought a set of KHE Tanaka forks from me on e-bay They are the ones from the bike i just posted above. I ordered Chrome St Martin forks to replace these ....They are on the way BTW

Thanks bro. Yeah, I had just put a WTB post on the museum and the next day ... BAM .... you had them posted. Just what I needed for the RIP. Thanks!

Roy,I prefer "0" offset as well with the stem about 30mm, like the minimalist, and as high as it can go on the fork!

I also love the design of the KHE Swiss Miss Bars. I just hate that they are only 23 1/4" wide. At least they got it right with the new A-Blast bars and went 27 1/2" wide. Wider the better.

Wish someone would design a bar end that is actually an extender so as to give an extra inch or two to the shorter bars. Wow. I just noticed what I wrote .... "extender" "extra inch or two" . lol Ha HA HA

hes on the moose frame though isnt he?

who care hes a sick rider bro

if he rode that matyr frame, i would buy it in a second. i like the specs on it.

He rode the Matyr frame for about a year before his came out.They hold up well but like any light weight frame a pro will only get about a year out of them. The rest of us it will last a life time. Funny thing is some the know it alls should know that it is a Eastern built frame. Funny how these are nice and Eastern stuff is so called junk.

Re: For Those That Want To Talk About NEW SCHOOL FLATLAND !!!

Seamus had a sweet (what looked like a solid built proto) frame posted on my other forum. I wouldn't ever buy one. I would ever buy ANY Taiwan frame new.

And as for the Sunday. If that is just a post with the slide on seat guts. Yea ugly. Better off with getting a pivotal. Spend 1000 plus on a bike and have a shitty rod with old ass slide on guts, it's just no class.Kinda like building a new school and putting Ame grips on them. Or 30 psi "race" tires. Or better yet. Mag wheels and trying to run a 25/16 gear ratio and having every sort of lame excuse for your lack of intelligence.

Re: For Those That Want To Talk About NEW SCHOOL FLATLAND !!!

Those are cool! I was gonna say tree could do something like that with thread ons. I've always just found a junk pair or bars and tig welded extensions for people that screwed up bitd. I know i cut many of bars down.

I ride 29-30 wide bars for my bikes. And the intrikat bars are 27. I think I'll be alright.

175s work on my 92 Haro Master....On my Subrosa flatland DTT, I have to go with 165's. The pedals get too close to the front tire when the bars are spun around. Im diving headfirst into the New School!

Diving in with an awesome ride!!! Can't wait to see it built up man!!!and hell, my feet hit the front tires sometimes running 155's, lol.

I'm more intersted on 175s with new schools. 19.5" 13". This bike will do hop 3s wall rides all that. I want comfort.

That's going to be a pretty tight fit depending on your shoe size. I was running 165's on my Intrikat with 1 1/2" tree pegs and was having problems hooking my heels on the rear pegs so I switched to 155's and they worked great !!! The Intrikat rides more like a street frame and handles well I think you'll like it.
